JEWLLERY CARE
At Emanam Jewelries, we craft each piece to last a lifetime, but proper care is essential to maintain its brilliance and longevity. Jewelry, like fine art, requires regular attention and gentle handling to preserve its beauty. Whether you own our signature gold collections, diamond pieces, or gemstone-adorned creations, following these professional care guidelines will ensure your treasures remain as stunning as the day you acquired them.
Daily Wear & Protection:
Always apply perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays before putting on your jewelry, as chemicals can gradually dull metals and erode finishes. Remove rings when applying hand sanitizer (particularly important for rose gold pieces) and take off all jewelry before swimming (chlorine damages metals), exercising (perspiration accelerates tarnishing), or household chores (cleaning products contain abrasives). Store each piece separately in our provided velvet-lined boxes or anti-tarnish pouches to prevent scratches—diamonds can scratch softer gems, and chains can tangle irreparably. Consider a jewelry organizer with individual compartments for different pieces.
Cleaning Techniques by Material:
For gold jewelry, create a mild solution of warm water with a drop of phosphate-free dish soap, gently scrub with a baby toothbrush (soft bristles only), then rinse under lukewarm running water. Pat dry with a microfiber cloth—never tissue, which can leave scratches. Silver pieces require special attention; use a dedicated silver polishing cloth weekly and store with anti-tarnish strips. Our pearl and opal collections demand extra care—wipe gently with a damp cloth after wear (body oils affect their luster) and never submerge in water. Diamond jewelry benefits from monthly professional ultrasonic cleaning but can be refreshed between visits using our branded diamond cleaning solution and a lint-free cloth.
Seasonal Considerations:
Humid Pakistani summers accelerate tarnishing—keep silica gel packets in your jewelry storage to control moisture. Winter brings its own challenges; the dry air can make prongs more brittle, so we recommend having our jewelers inspect stone settings biannually. Monsoon season requires vigilance against humidity—consider using a dehumidifier in your storage area.
Professional Maintenance:
Even with perfect home care, we strongly recommend bringing your Emanam Jewelries pieces to our workshop every six months for:
-
Ultrasonic deep cleaning (excluding porous gems like emeralds)
-
Pivot point lubrication for moving parts (bracelet clasps, hinge earrings)
-
Prong tightening for gemstone settings
-
Rhodium replating for white gold items
-
Integrity checks for pearl stringing
Special Situations:
If your jewelry comes into contact with harsh chemicals (bleach, ammonia), immediately rinse under running water for 30 seconds and bring to us for assessment. For heirloom pieces or items with historical value, consult our restoration specialists before any cleaning attempts. We offer complimentary jewelry care workshops quarterly—check our social media for upcoming sessions where you can learn hands-on maintenance techniques from master jewelers.
Travel Tips:
Use our travel jewelry cases with anti-tarnish lining and secure compartments. Never leave jewelry in hotel safes (temperature fluctuations cause damage)—wear it or keep it in your carry-on. For destination weddings or beach vacations, bring a jewelry cleaning pen for quick refreshment after saltwater exposure.
Insurance & Documentation:
Maintain complete records of all appraisals and certificates we provide. Photograph each piece from multiple angles annually to document its condition—this assists with insurance claims and helps our craftsmen understand original settings if repairs become necessary.
Remember, your Emanam Jewelries purchase includes unlimited complimentary visual inspections—simply walk into our boutique for a quick check anytime. For pieces worn daily (especially engagement rings and bracelets), we suggest professional cleanings every 3 months. Proper care transforms jewelry from an accessory into a legacy—let us help you preserve these wearable heirlooms for future generations.
